Buddy Rich Vs. Animal in an epic drumming showdown.

Ringo forever! Animal never!

 

Killer! I used to watch The Muppet Show. Thanks for the video. Rich really could smoke the drums.

 

Now see this I would buy on vinyl for a RSD reissue

 

Here's a chance to re-post a funny drummer joke I heard...

I heard this at a jazz concert with Carl Saunders, trumpet player. He told this joke in-between sets.

A beat up letter shows up at Max Roach's house with only the name "World's Greatest Drummer" but with several labels stuck for the address and obviously sent to previous addresses.

Max holds the letter and considers opening it, but decides not to and instead says "I know who to send this on to" and sticks on a new label and puts it back in the mail.

The letter shows up at Gene Krupa's house and he considers opening it, but decides not to and instead says "I know who to send this on to" and sticks on a new label and puts it back in the mail.

The letter next shows up at Buddy Rich's house, and he nods his head and immediately opens the letter and reads......"Dear Ringo".

 

First time I ever seen Buddy use match grip!

 

Antenna TV had Buddy Rich on the Tonight Show not long ago.
